RunawayTeens.org is a project of The Kidsearch Network.
The Kidsearch Network has a lot of experience in searching for and finding runaway teens and returning them home to their parents. RunawayTeens.org was created with the primary goal of runaway prevention, but also to help find teens who are missing, so we can return them home safely.
The U.S. Department of Justice estimates that between 100,000 and 3 million teens are prostituted in the United States each year. We find these types of statistics are unacceptable and are working to make the public more aware of the nature and size of this problem. Click here to learn more about RunawayTeens.org
